Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a chocoholic. I love chocolate in all its forms, colors and sizes – dark, white, fudge, ice cream, cake, you name it. So when I saw a recipe for this luscious lava cake, I couldn’t resist. The best part is it was so incredibly easy and quick to make! It came out perfect – a rich chocolate cake oozing with warm, gooey chocolate. The trick is not to overcook the cake; if you do, you won’t get the fudgy center.

Chocolate makes me happy and it doesn’t get more chocolate-y than this. While eating this, I was whisked away to Chocolateland for 5 mins of pure bliss. Ahh…Already looking forward to the next time I’ll be able to enjoy these again…

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray 4 medium or 6 small ramekins with oil and place on cookie sheet.

Microwave chocolate and butter in large bowl on high for about 1 minute, until butter is melted. Whisk until chocolate is also melted.
If you think the chocolate is hot, let it cool down or else you’ll get scrambled eggs instead of a cake batter!

Stir in sugar until well blended. Stir in flour.Whisk in eggs and egg yolks.Add liquor.

Divide between cups.

Bake 13-14 minutes until sides are firm and center is soft.

Take it out of the oven and let it stand for a minute.
Invert cakes on dishes and decorate a little if you want.
Serve with ice cream like I did or you could serve it with whipped cream
